Sunday Worship
Sunday Morning Services
Both morning services offer scripture readings, sermons, and prayers followed by the Eucharist or Holy Communion (with bread and wine) as outlined in the Book of Common Prayer.
The 10 am service can also be viewed online via Live Stream.
The 8 am service uses more formal language with no music, while the 10 am service is more colloquial and enriched by our wonderful choir and hymns. Children’s Chapel is offered during the sermon and prayers at 10 am, and a nursery is available for young children.
Second Sunday Contemplative Service
Monthly, Second Sunday at 5:00 pm
A new addition is the Second Sunday Contemplative Service held every month (except August) on the second Sunday at 5 pm. Through candlelit prayer, contemplative silence, poetry, beautiful music, and Holy Communion, this service provides a different experience from those on Sunday morning. A brief reflection on the spiritual journey is also offered by a member of St. Francis.
Sunday Services
Weekly at 8:00 am & 10:00 am
Second Sundays Every Month at 5:00 pm
St. Francis welcomes everyone to Sunday services. If you’re new to church, just pick up a bulletin from the ushers at the door and find a seat where you are comfortable.
The bulletin will guide you through the service, and you can ask an usher if you have a question about anything. The books in front of you will include a hymnal (usually blue) for singing and the Book of Common Prayer (usually red). We’re glad you came, and we’d love to get to know you after the service!
Sunday Music at
St. Francis
St. Francis has a longstanding love of sacred music, and we are blessed with a dedicated choirmaster, organist, and choir members.
The primary focus of the music is to support and enhance the Sunday service, but the choir also performs on special occasions, such as Evensongs and special concerts throughout the year.
During Sunday services, the church uses the Episcopal Hymnal, supplemented by the Lift Every Voice and Sing hymnal. The choir performs a Call to Worship and an anthem, and the organist plays both a prelude and postlude. At special services, other instruments, including trumpets, drums, violins, and even a harpsichord add to the beauty of the music.
